Hi, my name is Lucia and I am new to MFP. I have tried it before but it didnt last long. Some friends of mine had success on this website so I decided to try it again. This time will be different. I am 5'6" and was pushing 200lbs and was devastated that I let myself get to that point. I have always struggled with weight but during childhood was just chubby. In high school I was going through a lot in my life and tipped the scales at about 180. After that I got myself down to about 150 in a very unhealthy way. My weight has fluctuated ever since. I want to do it the right way this time and for good. I started Slim in 6 on Friday and today will be Day 3. I am looking for people who have had success on this site or people who are starting out like me. Basically anyone who will keep me motivated! :smile:

    Lucia I just joined today. Same ht and weigh just a little less at 192. I have been on Weight Watchers a lot but thought I would try this. I have lost wt in the past but then gained it back. I have always exercised so I have that part in place. Just crave food and eat when not hungry. That is what I am working on. Maybe we can encourage each other!

    I requested you. I started this once, lost 25 pounds and then stopped. I've slowly gained it back. I'm starting again tomorrow and hope to double the amount I lost last time and keep it off this time.

    I am also looking for new friends for motivation. I tend to slip away from doing this.
